Ban On Large-Capacity Rifle Magazines Clears Committee
Magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are already banned in Hawaii for handguns, but not for rifles. Reading time: 4 minutes.
For the second year in a row Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Karl Rhoads is advancing a proposal to ban rifle magazines that hold more than 10 bullets, but the measure appears likely to fail in the state House.
Rhoads announced Wednesday he will amend Senate Bill 301 to remove language that would have banned assault rifles and “assault shotguns” after his committee was deluged with more than 1,200 pages of testimony. The vast majority of the testimony opposed the bill.
Activists are calling for stronger firearm laws in Michigan after a new national report said the state has “significant room for progress when it comes.
Other states with a C grade from the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence include Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Vermont and Florida.
